METRO rubber is made from an advanced, proprietary EPDM formula which has superior ozone and UV resistance. METRO's rubber products are molded using high heat and 40-to-125 tons of pressure, which gives them a longer life and clean, smooth looks.

METRO's parts quality, and look and feel usually surpasses the quality of the original rubber parts. All the fine details of the original parts are precisely duplicated, even the details that won't show after installation. The most advanced materials combined with the latest technologies make METRO rubber the highest quality rubber parts available.

METRO's SUPERSoft sponge rubber is the softest and most durable auto rubber you can buy. SUPERsoft has a unique closed micro-cell structure. This cell structure helps give SUPERsoft its superior softness. The material formula and secret manufacturing process gives SUPERsoft better shape "memory", better looks, and better durability and resistance to abrasion, tearing and ripping. Unlike other auto weatherstripping, SUPERsoft does not absorb water -- a key condition to completely sealing out water.

TOOLS & TIPS

Your auto restoration plans are coming along and you're ready to install the finishing touches with the best rubber weatherstripping from METRO. Here are a few simple tools, tips and techniques that will give your project a real professional finish. Be sure to read through this section and gather all the materials you will need prior to starting the job.

Apply a water-based lubricant/protectant such as Armorall, or a silicone based furniture polish like Lemon Pledge, to METRO parts where noted in the instructions. Among other things, these lubricants/protectants will allow you to more easily slide fitted rubber parts into cavities or channels. Always use a clean rag to apply these products.

METRO's SUPERSoft rubber is designed for long life and superior sealing qualities. To assure that your installation takes best advantage of these products, we suggest you use the 3M Super Black Weatherstrip Adhesive # 08008.

Always keep in mind, this adhesive dries quickly, so have the surface area and replacement part fitted and ready for installation prior to adding any glue. Always apply the glue to another object like a popsicle stick and use the stick to carefully apply the glue to the rubber.

For removing old rubber and any remaining adhesive residue, try the 3M Weatherstrip Adhesive Release Agent # 8971. Cover any adjoining finished auto body surfaces prior to application with masking tape. This is especially important when applying glue.

Simple tools are needed for the installation, such as a Phillips head screwdriver, pliers, and a sharp knife or razor blade.

GENERAL HINT:Check carefully to make sure all clips are lined up with the proper holes before inserting ANY clips in door holes. If the clips are removed or improperly lined up, the rubber may be torn.

A) PREPARATION:Remove the old strip in one piece if possible. Remove any old anchor plugs using a pliers. Pushing and poping through any broken pins will also work.

C) INSTALL ONE END:On hardtops and convertibles, fasten one end (Figure 8A), placing a tiny amount of adhesive on the mounting side of the end, and a small amount between pin anchors. On sedans and trucks, start at the top center and apply a small bead of adhesive on the under side of the rubber between the two pins on either side. Then install these pins

D) EASY INSTALL:Now simply place a small bit of adhesive to the rubber between pins on the main length of weatherstrip, push pins in and work your way around. (Figure 8B)

E) YOUR LAST STEP:On hardtops and convertibles, your strip is made to fit exactly. On sedans and trucks, where lengths of extrusion are used, carefully cut the ends squarely to match together, allowing a 1/4 inch to overlap. At this seam, apply adhesive to the ends of the strip. Hold the ends together a moment and add a small amount of glue around the edges to get any areas missed. Then allow the seam to fully dry before shutting the door, checking for any oozing glue.

F) CHECK:Check your door for alignment. Your SUPERSoft weatherstrip is made to the correct factory specifications. SUPERsoft sponge rubber will adjust to irregularities in doors for a postive seal and ease of closing doors in about a week.
